I’m 19 and married to a guy in the military. I also just entered my 2nd trimester in pregnancy. I got married to fast for the wrong reasons. I just got out of jail when he offered to marry me. I figured it’d be good to get out of my home town away from the drugs and violence. Ever since we got married life’s a living hell. We fight all the time everything is my fault, I’m awful he’s perfect . Now I’m half away across the country stuck with a man I hate. I want to die the only reason I’m still alive is my baby but I’m afraid I’ll resent her because I’m just stuck alone with no chance of leaving now. I don’t know how much longer I can do this.
